My Fitness Journey

My fitness journey started a year ago when my wife had a New Year's resolution to be "Fit at Forty"! I played sports growing up and never had the need or desire to watch my diet. Then one day, at the age of 38, I caught myself holding my breath to make it easier for me to put on and tie my shoes! I knew then that something needed to change. I ordered the P90X DVD set from Beachbody and started my transformation towards a healthy lifestyle. 

During my first 90 days of P90X, I lost 40 pounds! I then became a BeachBody coach and started selling their products which kept me from falling off the bandwagon of the healthy lifestyle. I no longer sell their products but I still recommend and use them today. I had the pleasure of meeting Tony Horton, Fitness Trainer and creator of P90X while at a Beachbody conference during the summer! He was an extremely friendly person and an awesome motivational speaker.

A year later we bought my wife a home gym system. I also wanted to get use out of her gym. So I had a friend meet with me to create a training program that would allow me to utilize the equipment we now had at home. Dennis played football in the NFL for the NY Giants then worked as the Strength Conditioning Coach  at the University of NC, University of Florida and University of SC.  He has a vast knowledge and years of experience in weight training. Dennis created a weight training program to fit my needs while utilizing the equipment available in my home. Brian and Dennis TrippBrian and Dennis Tripp, NFL Alumni - NY Giants

We then had Tonya Burkhardt come over and talk to me and Lisa about nutrition and the benefits of exercise. We wanted to know how a person of her level eats on a daily basis. We could never be at her level but we were able to get a glimpse into her lifestyle and incorporate some of her best practices into our lives. She created a diet plan and also went over a workout routine that Lisa could use with our own equipment. (She worked with Lisa the same way Dennis worked with me. She's just a lot prettier than Dennis)

I've tried to surround myself with people interested in fitness. After embarking on my journey, I discovered that a lot of my friends and people I know, already had the same interests. I created this website as another method of  self motivation. The forum and friendly competition also helps with that! Well, here are the results of my fitness journey.  Side By SideSide by side comparison. Before Picture, Minus 40lbs, -50lbs

Now, after proving that I can do it, I can put my efforts in to "staying" fit and hopefully motivate others to do the same.

Triple Fit Life

Physical: The quest to lead a healthier lifestyle, to become more physically fit and feel better.

Financial: To become financially independent and no longer owe to the "man" through financing. To live financially independent and to no longer desire to keep up with the "Joneses".

Mental: If the two above are well underway, with the stress removed physically and financially, the mental part just seems to fall into place. Whether it is spiritual for you or simply keeping a positive attitude in life, your overall outlook will be great!
